I once was set up to hit my snipe at the last second, but my mouse was on the button above the submit bid button, I think two bids higher (the button on the far right). I clicked the mouse in the last 5 seconds, which apparently everyone else was too, and I ended up winning at about $800 over what I wanted to pay. That was a tough one to pay (but of course I did, it was my dumb A%* that did it). I wish I had lost by 20 cents.
